FWIW I think you're talking at cross-purposes. There's no reason there
can't be a policy favoring stuff that doesn't generate miss-alignment
warnings (whether outright denial, or just some kind of part of package
reviews, and no reason this isn't a generic Fedora problem rather than
being ARM specific), have software like abrt pick it up, and still do a
fixup+warn setting in the kernel. You won't get silent breakage, and
you'll send a message that software needs to be fixed.

Jon.
